Easy Way To Clean Riding Mower Deck

Easy Way To Clean Riding Mower Deck CLEANING EQUIPMENT Cleaning Equipment 28-3-3 A reader recently wrote in about how hard it was to clean his 54-in. riding lawn mower deck. That prompted another reader, Bernard Larson, Mabel, Minn., to tell us about the easy deck cleaning system he came up with. He simply buries a length of garden hose under the lawn and runs it over to a spike-type sprinkler head that's buried in the ground. "To clean the mower deck, I turn the water on and drive the mower over the sprinkler," says Larson. "I engage the mower blades and the water does all the work. "This underground cleaning system could work for any size riding mower as well as large walk-behinds. It is inexpensive and, because the blades move so quickly, they dry the mower so there's no chance of rust forming."
